The Johns Hopkins University Center for Communication Programs (informally JHUCCP, or simply CCP) was founded over 20 years ago as a part the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's department of Health, Behavior, and Society and is located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.
CCP's goal is to advance the science of communication in order to improve health outcomes and save lives through programs such as knowledge management, behavior change communication, training and capacity building, strategic advocacy, and research and evaluation. The Center for Communication Programs works in over 40 countries, like Angola, Bangladesh, Botswana, Cote d’Ivoire, Nigeria (Center for Communication Programs Nigeria), and Ethiopia. CCP aims to improve a span of health issues such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, reproductive health, family planning, water and sanitation, tobacco control, nutrition, avian and pandemic influenza, maternal and child health, and gender. CCP partners with many programs both domestically and abroad that seek to advance the health status of nations suffering from these health conditions and more.
The Johns Hopkins University Center for Communication Programs is involved with work across the globe, specifically focusing on developing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. The range of global health programs that CCP offers can be seen on their program website and individual projects can be viewed on their project website.
